COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe citrus punch of a big IPA, minus the one-dimensional hop sledgehammer. Seven select European and domestic malts round out the edges for a complex, copper-colored brew. Like its namesake ski lift, it’s an insider’s ride to fresh thrills.

Light amber with a frothy white head that slowly diffuses out of the beer. Aroma of pine. Taste is bitter pine with a lemon finish and bitter overall taste and a creamy texture.

12 oz bottle, pours a nice orange with an off white head. Aroma of citrus! pine and some malt. Taste wise, this is pretty well balanced, subdued hop flavor and some lightly toasted malts. Medium bodied, creamy, the the carbonation seems a bit soft for an IPA.
Overall, IMHO, this is a very tasty brew. It goes on the "Have another" list!

[2/27/15] Draught at Deschutes Brewery & Public House in Portland. Clear amber. Piney and citric hops aroma with some toasty malt. Flavor has some sweetish malt, a bit toasty, and nice bitter piney and citric hops. Medium-bodied.
